Yea or Nay?

Sunday December 16, 2007

Help me make up my mind about these Eleanor Stovepipe Skinny Jeans. High-waisted might be in, but I'm on the fence about the stitching. What's your take on these trousers? Speak up, and let me know. . . it's up to you to tell me whether or not you'd wear these jeans!

These ones I am sure about.

I dont know. I guess if you hook it up with a close fitting top it could look good. The thing is though is that you have to be extremely confident to wear this and extremely thin because this accentuates not only your stomach but your hips. I wouldn’t wear this if you have a big stomach and big hips.

Yes, I agree that you’d have to have a somewhat hourglass shape to wear these jeans comfortably. I’d love to try them on and see for myself!

I’m a fan of the high waist, but I think that it works better on skirts. I just don’t think it quite works with the jeans…

Definitely. High-waisted skirts are glamorous!

Yes! you should get them as they are also on sale on her site. I dont know how tall you are, but I’m 6ft and an hourglass 20ish and love skinny jeans. I don’t think you need to be skinny to rock them! Svoboda jeans also cater to taller ladies and the high waist is great for long torso’s. If you are shorter, think about how it may result in rolling over on the wasit band area. I love the two tone stitching!

absolute NO this is not flattering in any form of the word. it’s the worn out spots on the jeans. Hugo Thighs-o

don’t do it. stay completely dark on this look without the weird yoke stitching too. good luck
